Planning Your Visit

Marion is the hometown of President Warren G. Harding — the Harding Home museum is worth a visit while in town.

Fair Highlights

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, harness racing, carnival rides, and grandstand entertainment fill the week. The Fourth of July timing makes it a holiday destination for families.

A Closer Look

The Marion County Fair bridges June and July, running from late June through the Fourth of July week. Founded in 1845, it stands as one of Ohio's most enduring agricultural fair traditions. It has been a summer institution in north-central Ohio since 1845, with harness racing as a signature attraction.
